This parade scene was actually filmed in a real parade. The second part, the twist and shout part, was filmed after a 'call' for extras in Chicago.Over ten thousand showed up.

I think this was the first flash mob.

Other fun facts:

Matthew had a hurt leg and could not do the choreography.He winged it.Matthew was 24 and bickered with John Hughes.John Hughes apparently loved music.The Beatles did not like the horns used in the parade.The movie went way over budget. It went from a social commentary to a comedy in the editing room.John Hughes wanted to do a sequel.Matthew was not too interested.He is kicking himself.John Hughes died of a heart attack in New York in 2009.

Now don't you want to see it again?

Bueller?Bueller?Bueller?

Stephie made me think of this, this morning, because she put a video up on her FB wall.

Until then,Donna

Emma, that is Caldler's Flamingo in Chicago's Federal Plaza. Have you seen it?

As I go thru my pins I can see that I have not always Linked with Love. Many pins are not attributed to the original source.This year I will do better. I promise.

And that's the Pinterest news for this week.

Now. Go and watch About A Boy if you have never seen it.It has a great message.

Marcus: Suddenly I realized - two people isn't enough. You need backup. If you're only two people, and someone drops off the edge, then you're on your own. Two isn't a large enough number. You need three at least.

In the warmth of our home, I watch old movies and some not so old movies.

Have you seen Miss Pettigrew lives for a day?This was my favorite line.

Guinevere Pettigrew: I am not an expert on love, I am an expert on the lack of love, Delysia, and that is a fate from which I wish more fervently to save you.

Have you seen My Favorite Wife with Cary Grant and Irene Dunne?If you like screwball comedies, you really must watch this.

Oh! and since it is indeed Leap Year. You should just go ahead and watch Leap Year.The movies is rather slow paced for a romantic comedy, but the kiss is worth the wait.All of the youtube clips have clipped the kiss by a little. Why they did that I don't know.It's a perfect screen kiss. A kiss that makes you want to grab your hubby and kiss him.

Here is my awkard and poor attempt to film the kiss with my phone.All the stuff in front of the tv is stuff I have taken away from Ginny.I am going to train her to pick stuff up and put it in the trash.
